About C Spire

Lifeline Assistance

We believe wireless service should be available to everyone, no matter their income. That's why we support the Lifeline program in Mississippi and Alabama. It helps those with low incomes and income-based benefits obtain a phone and communicate with friends and family.

Lifeline is a government benefit program that provides a monthly credit of $9.25 for wireless service. Postpaid calling plans with at least 750 talk minutes are required to qualify for Lifeline Assistance. View C Spire calling plans. (Prepaid plans are not eligible.)

Only one Lifeline discount is allowed per household. Additional lines do not qualify for the discounted Lifeline rates. Only eligible consumers may participate in the program, and C Spire must receive satisfactory evidence of eligibility. Lifeline service cannot be transferred from one person to another.
